Cross posting as I thought people on both lists would be interested in this.
Though ultimately it turns out to be not such good news for many blind people.
There's a very useful feature in the latest version of the Kindle IOS app. At
the bottom left of the screen there's a line of text giving the remaining
duration of a book when it's being read by VO. At the other side of the screen
that info is also given as a percentage. Sadly, however, VO does not announce
this info when you touch it so it's only available if you can see it. Shame
because it's something I'm sure many people would find useful. ** To leave the
